Sass

But Sass wants to make your life easier. Rather than repeating the same selectors over and over again, you can write one style rules inside another. Sass will automatically combine the outer rule’s selector with the inner rule’s.

code sass

nav {
  ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
  }

  li { display: inline-block; }

  a {
    display: block;
    padding: 6px 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
}

code css

Nested rules are clever about handling selector lists (that is, comma-separated selectors). Each complex selector (the ones between the commas) is nested separately, and then they’re combined back into a selector list.

code sass

.alert, .warning {
  ul, p {
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
  }
}

code css

.alert ul, .alert p, .warning ul, .warning p {
  margin-right: 0;
  margin-left: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
}

You can nest selectors that use combinators as well. You can put the combinator at the end of the outer selector, at the beginning of the inner selector, or even all on its own in between the two.

code sass

ul > {
  li {
    list-style-type: none;
  }
}

h2 {
  + p {
    border-top: 1px solid gray;
  }
}

p {
  ~ {
    span {
      opacity: 0.8;
    }
  }
}

code css

You can use interpolation to inject values from expressions like variables and function calls into your selectors. This is particularly useful when you’re writing mixins, since it allows you to create selectors from parameters your users pass in.

code sass

@mixin define-emoji($name, $glyph) {
  span.emoji-#{$name} {
    font-family: IconFont;
    font-variant: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    content: $glyph;
  }
}

@include define-emoji("women-holding-hands", "");

The first article in our series gives you a very first experience of creating a form in HTML, including designing it, implementing it using the right HTML elements, adding some very simple decorations with CSS, and how the data is sent to a server.

A search bar also known as a search field or search box is an integral part of modern websites where the user might use the search as a primary mode of discovering content on the site as opposed to fiddling with the navigation menu.
